I like this one:
That's pretty damned funny. There's absolutely no reason to have that much security for a glorified machine shop. Nor could they possibly have the capital to have such a set up.
Let me tell a story (and maybe brag a bit). My dad works for Rayotek in San Diego. I was there last month, and he showed me, my brother, and our mom the shop. Rayotek does optics of all sorts.
Here's what they do: (you can mute it if the music annoys you, nobody says anything)

If you don't want to watch the video, I'll hit the highlights for you. A lot of optics stuff, plus windows for the Orion spacecraft that's sending people to Mars, a bubble windows for a deep-sea submersible, and a sensor window that's on the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.
*(bragging part bellow)
If you pause right at the beginning, you can see that there's no fence. Security cameras, of course, but that's common sense. When we got there we signed in and got a "Visitor" sticker badge to wear. The security beyond that point? A sign that said "No photography beyond this point". That's it. There were no security cameras inside, even for the own company's use.
They've got a waterjet cutter, a laser etcher, CNC mills, regular end mills and lathes and other tooling machines. Massive grinding machines for making big-ass mirrors for telescopes. Smaller ones too (some are my dad's). And that crazy 5-axis 4x3x1.5 meter machine. Millions of dollars in equipment. Plus all the materials, works in progress, etc.
My point is that if Rayotek has all that equipment and they do what they're doing, why would Jared West need all the security he claims they have to make some knives? It's all puffery. A bunch of marketing bullshit to people who are dumb enough to buy in to it. A medical-grade clean room does not make a better knife. Nor does biometric scanners (a $150 cellphone has a biometric scanner), thermal sensing cameras, and all the other blah blah blah. I'm surprised he didn't brag about his turboencablulator.
I'm surprised-not-surprised that Jared West made that video. It appears shortly after people on the largest knife forum on the internet are questioning where this knives are made. And after several knife dealers removed or questioned his claim of USA made on their websites. Some of which who have stopped carrying his knives altogether. "Unrehearsed"? Why even say this? It's very obviously not unrehearsed. People can see that it's not unrehearsed whether he said it or not. So don't say it. Make your video, your obviously transparent attempt to claim that you're not a lying sack of shit, but don't do yourself one worse by taking it one further by lying about the video trying to claim that you're not lying.

My dad's working on those windows for the Orion spacecraft. He's also involved with the submersible. The video doesn't mention that James Cameron wants to use it to film at the bottom of the Marianis Trench for the "Avatar" sequels". That thingy on the B-2 Sprirt stealth bomber? He did that.
